Reports: Disney boss imposes stunning new talk show standard on ‘The View’
Multiple reports have revealed that Disney boss Bob Iger is imposing a new talk show standard on “The View.”
And without other changes, too, it could end up being the first talk show featuring … silence.
The idea is for the personalities on the program to talk less about politics.
RadarOnline explains Iger has “put his foot down when it comes to bashing President Trump on The View.”
Also bashing MAGA, Republicans, conservatives, and others who are disfavored by the extremists on the far-left tip of America’s politics.
“RadarOnline.com can reveal the 74-year-old media exec told Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and the other ladies of the ABC talk show to ‘tone down their political rhetoric,'” the report said.
It reportedly was Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic who have stepped on the program’s long-existing format.
“Over the years, and especially after President Trump won the historic 2024 presidential election, the ladies of The View have spent a large amount of time on air bashing him, his administration officials and his policies,” the report said, prompting the reported intervention.
The report noted sources have told the Daily Beast Karamehmedovic, in a meeting with the program executive producer Brian Teta and show hosts, delivered the message to “broaden” the conversations.
RadarOnline said, “According to the site, the hosts didn’t take the suggestion too well and pushed back on the idea and found the requests ‘silly’ and that ‘they were just going to keep doing their thing.'”
Some of the comments have been well beyond cutting edge. For example, when Trump beat by massive numbers Democrat Kamala Harris in the presidential race, Sunny Hostin unleashed a rant: “I’m profoundly disturbed. We know now that he will have unfettered power. … Black women tried to save this country again, last night… what we do not have is white women, who voted about 52 percent for Donald Trump — uneducated white women, is my understanding. You have Latino men actually, voting more for him. So why do you think uneducated white women voting against their reproductive health freedoms, and why do you think Latino men voted in favor of someone who is going to deport a majority of his community.”
